QUOTE OF THE DAY: "Obviously, Manny [Ramirez] doesn't fit in the Twins plans as they are currently constructed. But at least once per week I hear this argument:
1. The only entity richer than [Twins owner Carl] Pohlad is god.
2. They'll be meeting soon.
3. Pohlad should write a blank check to get whatever the hell the Twins need. He owes it to us."
-John "TwinsGeek" Bonnes, arguing in favor of an increased payroll for the Minnesota Twins, 'cause their aged owner has billions lying around and not enough time to spend it. I agree- and he should toss in a new stadium too.
John also delves into what economists refer to as "the winner's curse"- which is, I suppose, doubly true in the Red Sox' case.
